The Most Instagram Worthy Street Art in Denver
I have seen murals and street art in other cities before, but nothing quite like what I saw in
Denver. Pretty much everywhere you turn there’s a photo opportunity making the RiNo Art District one of the most Instagram worthy spots in Denver Colorado!
This list is by no means every single piece of street art, but here are a few of my favorites that will give you plenty of picture taking options.
Dairy Block
The Dairy Block has some stylish bars, restaurants and boutiques but they also have these super cute quotes on the walkway with twinkling lights overhead.
Located in LoDo (Lower Downtown) at 1800 Wazee St, Denver

Peering into the convention center, the iconic Blue Bear isn’t one to miss.

Location: 3500 Walnut St, Denver
Outdoor Photo Locations in Denver that are Instagram Worthy
To be honest, pretty much anywhere outside in Denver is going to be an awesome Instagram worthy spot. I am a sucker for that gorgeous mountainous backdrop!
Union Station
Probably one of the most popular downtown Denver photo spots is Union Station. Whether you take a photo outside with Union station in the background or you go inside and take a photo in the lobby with a cocktail in hand you’ll definitely get an awesome photo.
Address: 1701 Wynkoop St, Denver
Red Rocks Amphitheatre
These iconic red rocks are definitely one of the most instagram worthy spots in Denver.
Choose from tunnels, towering red rocks or inside the amphitheatre itself.
If you can, coordinate your trip when there is a concert in town. It’s a concert experience like no other!
Address: 18300 Alameda Pkwy, Morrison CO
Larimer Square
Larimer Square is probably the most famous street in Denver and definitely one of the most instagrammable.
Located in LoDo (lower downtown) here you will find lots of restaurants and shops with twinkling lights overhead. Day or night you’ll absolutely get some iconic photos to commemorate your vacation on the oldest, most historic block in Denver.
Address: 1430 Larimer St, Denver
Mile High Steps
If you head up the steps of the Colorado Capitol Building look for the one that says ‘one mile above sea level’. You also can’t miss the building’s signature REAL gold dome roof!
Address: 200 E Colfax Ave, Denver (just a short walk past the south end of 16th Street Mall)
The Source Hotel
I love the outside of this hotel and marketplace for some fun photos. But maybe you would prefer the rooftop pool? Either way, The Source Hotel is a whole vibe.
Address: 3350 Brighton Blvd, Denver
Coors Field
What better way to show off your awesome trip to Denver than with a selfie at Coors Field watching the Rockies play!
Address: 2001 Blake St, Denver CO
Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge
Show off yourself feeding some animals while they stick their head inside your car. Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge is one of the coolest, most unique places to take pictures in Denver.
Address: 6550 Gateway Rd, Commerce City, CO
Denver Botanic Gardens
The flora and light displays will have you snapping pictures left and right.
There are also concerts in a sunken amphitheater that happen in the summer time.

Tiny Town
Get some really cool and unique photos here at Tiny Town Denver where you will tower over the buildings in this miniature village.
Address: 6249 S Turkey Creek Rd, Morrison CO (30 minutes outside of Denver)

The lush greenery surrounding the hot springs pool definitely makes this an instagram worthy spot in Denver.
Address: 302 Soda Creek Rd, Idaho Springs, CO (40 min from Denver)
Rocky Mountain National Park
Ahh picture perfect Rocky Mountain National Park. Put on your hiking boots and get out and take some photos along the way. No matter where you find yourself inside the park, I guarantee it will be instagram worthy!
The east side of the park (Estes Park area) is going to offer you the best views of the mountains and the best hiking trails.
You will need a park pass to enter the park, but timed entry permits are no longer required for the 2023 season.
Address: The Beaver Meadows entrance in Estes Park is the closest entrance to Denver at just under a 2 hour drive. 1000 US-36 Estes Park, CO
Devil’s Head Lookout
Another awesome spot to take some photos for your Instagram feed is Devils Head Lookout.
The views of the Pike National Forest, downtown Denver and Mount Evans from the lookout tower are going to give you some truly majestic views to show off to your friends and family.
In order to get here, you will need to take a 2.7 mile hike out and back. The trail, and the road to get to the trailhead, does get slippery if there is bad weather so be sure to check that out before you go. The best time to visit is April-November.
Address: S Rampart Range Rd, Sedalia, CO (1 hour from Denver)
Garden of the Gods
If you aren’t interested in hiking to get some awesome photos, just take a drive through the Garden of the Gods!
At only an hour drive from Denver, the views are well worth it! There are some amazing rock formations and plenty of places to park and stop along the way.
I think Garden of the Gods is definitely one of the most instagrammable places in the Denver area.
You can hike any of the trails if you want to, but most of the main rock formations can be seen from the road. Balanced Rock is one of the most popular, and most instagrammable spots.
There is no cost to enter the park and they are open daily from 5am-9pm all year long.
Address: 1805 N 30th St, Colorado Springs, CO (an hour from Denver)

All of the bright decor and the light show makes the International Church of Cannabis a really unique instagram worthy spot in Denver.
Regardless of whether or not you partake in any of the activities surrounding this type of place (I myself do not), it’s still a really cool place to check out and take some pictures. There is no smoking allowed when the church is open to the public.
Address: 400 S Logan St, Denver
